    SUBJECT: IRAN: LARIJANI MEETS WITH SWISS FM CALMY-REY \
     \
    Classified By: Charge d'Affaires Carol Urban, Reasons 1.4 b/d \
     \
    1.(C) Summary:  Iranian Nuclear Negotiator Ali Larijani met \
    with Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey on July 8, as \
    part of his ongoing European road show.  According to Swiss \
    officials, Larijani tried to convince the Swiss that Iran was \
    seriously looking at the latest P5 1 package but would not be \
    kept to deadlines, such as the G8 Summit, merely to oblige \
    other powers.  Calmy-Rey reiterated Swiss support for a \
    diplomatic solution and urged the Iranians to fulfill their \
    IAEA obligations, if they wished to have their NPT rights \
    respected.  The Swiss viewed Larijani's European tour as an \
    effort to lay the groundwork for future negotiations.  End \
    summary. \
     \
    2.(C) Swiss State Secretary of Foreign Affairs Michael \
    Ambuehl, as part of his pledge to Under Secretary Burns to \
    keep Washington apprised of developments with Iran, on July \
    10 offered Charge a readout of the July 8 meeting between FM \
    Calmy-Rey and visiting Iranian negotiator Larijani.  Swiss \
    DFA disarmament specialist Jean-Daniel Praz and Poloff joined \
    the meeting.  According to Ambuehl, the meeting was short -- \
    one hour, with interpreters reducing by half the amount of \
    time spent in actual exchange of views.  The Swiss chose not \
    to hold a press conference afterward, while the Iranian \
    Embassy gave two journalists a brief readout.  Delegation \
    members were as follows: \
     \
    Iran: \
    ---- \
    Ali Larijani, Secretary, Supreme Council for National Security \
    Javad Va'idi, Director for International Security, SCNS \
    Sa'id Jalili, Dep. Foreign Minister for Euro-American Affairs \
    Ibrahim Rahimpour, MFA Director General for Western Europe \
    Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Iranian Ambassador to Bern \
     \
    Switzerland \
    ----------- \
    Micheline Calmy-Rey, Foreign Minister \
    Michael Ambuehl, State Secretary of Foreign Affairs \
    Livia Leu, Director for Near East & Africa \
    Jean-Daniel Praz, Deputy Director, Disarmament & Arms Control \
     \
    3.(C) Starting out the meeting, Calmy-Rey explained that \
    Swiss policy favored non-proliferation and disarmament, the \
    peaceful use of nuclear energy, and a diplomatic solution to \
    the dispute through existing multilateral organizations -- \
    primarily the IAEA.  Calmy-Rey told Larijani that she saw \
    three reasons for hope in the current situation: \
     \
    -- The United States seemed ready to participate in \
    negotiations; \
    -- The P5 1 share a fairly homogeneous position; \
    -- Initial reaction from Tehran has been measured. \
     \
    (Unstated but implied in Calmy-Rey's discourse, Ambuehl \
    suggested, was that Iran would not find it easy to divide the \
    international community as long as the P5 1 could hold \
    together.) \
     \
    4.(C) Larijani told Calmy-Rey that Iran was examining the \
    package seriously and would reply with its own proposals.  He \
    added that there remained several "ambiguities" in the \
    package that would need to be clarified.  Tehran could accept \
    no preconditions.  Tehran would also not be bound by \
    deadlines designed to serve such events as the coming G8 \
    Summit in St. Petersburg.  Larijani told Calmy-Rey that a \
    month or so either way should not matter, quipping "Iran \
    can't build a bomb in a couple of weeks." \
     \
    5.(C) Addressing continued IAEA dissatisfaction at Iranian \
    cooperation, the Swiss delegation told the Iranians that, if \
    they wished their rights respected, they needed to fulfill \
    their obligations, particularly the need to clarify the \
    pre-2003 situation.  Ambuehl said that Larijani responded in \
    a typical manner that the IAEA maintained a double standard \
    against Iran (as compared with Sweden, South Korea, Japan, \
    and Argentina) and that, no matter how many questions Iran \
    answers, the IAEA always has more questions. \
     \
    Ambuehl's Take on the Meeting \
    ----------------------------- \
     \
    6.(C) Ambuehl saw Larijani's motive for his European tour as \
    wanting to lay the groundwork for negotiations.  He sensed no \
    attempt to divide the Swiss from the P5 1.  Beyond this, our \
    Swiss interlocutor did not think it necessary to look too \
    deeply at Iranian intentions.  "They are really not so sly," \
    Ambuehl observed.  The cancellation of Va'idi's scheduled \
     \
    BERN 00001280  002 OF 002 \
     \
     \
    visit in June he ascribed to normal Iranian disorganization. \
     \
    7.(C) Surveying Iranian relations with the P5 1, Ambuehl \
    mentioned that he saw a remarkable homogeneity among members. \
     He said that, during his recent visit to Beijing, Chinese \
    officials had voiced concerns about Iran and he received the \
    impression that China placed more weight on good relations \
    with the United States than with Iran.  Iran seemed to view \
    China as an important economic partner, but not completely \
    reliable.  Ambuehl thought that Iran was less interested in \
    Russian technology than Western.  Iran viewed France as an \
    interested seller; Germany as the most flexible of the major \
    powers; the UK as a close U.S. Ally, and the United States as \
    the country with the most say. \
     \
    8.(C) Asked why Larijani paid a visit to Bern, Ambuehl \
    estimated that Iran respected Switzerland's neutrality, \
    independence, and lack of an agenda.  Switzerland was non-EU \
    and non-NATO but was technologically advanced and had an \
    established nuclear energy sector supplying 40 percent of its \
    own needs.  Ambuehl stressed that neither side mentioned \
    Switzerland's role as protecting power for the United States \
    in Tehran.  He further described as ridiculous a recently \
    heard European concern that the USG was trying to bypass the \
    EU-3 by opening up channels to Tehran via the Swiss. \
     \
    9.(C) Finally, Ambuehl offered his thoughts on how to handle \
    Iran.  He observed that the Iranians approach discussions \
    with a chip on the shoulder, as if everyone believed them to \
    be inferior.  The Iranians had a particularly acute need for \
    respect.  Rather than push for an earlier response to Iran, \
    Ambuehl suggested that the P5 1 merely call Iran on its own \
    August 22 date.  Ambuehl also suggested that the five nuclear \
    states be more mindful of the perceived "unfairness" of the \
    NPT when dealing with non-nuclear states -- even such \
    likeminded states as Switzerland and Ireland. \
